Because, if the fuse blows due to an interlock switch failure, it ruptures so hard that a regular glass fuse would shatter, possibly scattering shards of glass into the cooking area, which would create a health hazard.

Why do you put plastic in microwave ovens?
The Reason for these is because Some Plastic Can Not Stand the heat that The MicroWave Oven melt produce therefore when you put a unstsble Plastic in the Microwave oven it Will meltAnother Response:Certain types of plastic may be recommended for use in microwave ovens because they allow the microwaves to pass through them. In this way the food inside the plastic container is cooked while the container stays cool. Not all plastics are microwave safe; some will melt. Metal cannot be used in microwaves. Some types of ceramic dishes, which may have metal elements in their glaze, are not safe in microwave ovens. Consequently some companies such as Tupperware, Rubbermaid and Pampered Chef produced lines of plastic cookware specifically for microwave ovens.More recently, studies suggest that molecular particles from some types of plastic migrate into food when heated in microwave ovens. While manufacturers maintain that their products are safe, some medical experts advise using only glass or safe ceramic cookware in microwave ovens.

What are microchips used for?
A microchip is a small semiconductor used to relay information through specific electrical characteristics. In some cases, the words microchip and integrated circuit can be interchangeable. The microchip is at the heart of many electronics known today, including computers, and even microwave ovens. If you are reading this right now, chances are very good that you have a microchip to thank for it.
What type of fuse is used in microwave ovens?
We often see a ceramic fuse (the white ones you can't see through) used in the primary circuits of a microwave oven. The current rating may vary a bit, but 15A is a common value.

Where can I find more information on convection oven cooking?
You can find some more information regarding convection ovens here: http://www.ehow.com/about_5438666_convection-oven-vs-microwave-oven.html It gives an overview of the differences between the more commonly used microwave ovens and convection ovens.
Does it required to close the food for heating in microwave?
Microwave ovens should not be used if the door will not close tightly. Most microwave ovens will not turn on without the door locking. The door has shielding in the glass to keep stray microwaves within the oven and not going into the room or the person operating the oven.
Are microwave ovens the same as microwaves?
A microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range between 300 MHz (or 0.3 GHz) and 300 GHz. A microwave is also the "shorthand" name we give to a common appliance called a microwave oven. Are they the same?Whether or not microwave ovens are the same as microwaves depends on the application of the term. Microwave ovens are called that because they contain a microwave generating device and direct the radiated electromagnetic energy (the microwaves themselves) into a cooking space (called a cavity) to heat drinks or food, or even to cook things.Say an appliance salesman is saying to his/her junior helpers, "Arrange the microwaves on the shelves." This refers to the microwave ovens. It's not about electromagnetic energy called microwaves.Take the case of an electronics teacher saying to his/her students, "The microwaves are reflected off the metal screen that is used in the construction of the dish." This does notrefer to microwave ovens, but the electromagnetic energy itself.
What humans use radio waves?
Radio waves are used to transmit signals from a radio station, and you can receive the signals with a radio, and hear them as sound such as speech or music. The long wavelength of radio waves makes them a suitable medium for transmitting over a large range. it is also use in agriculture...... it is used to diagnose different diseases
